English Tenses and Their Types
What is Tense?
The concept of tense in English may be a method that we use
to ask time - past, present and future. Many languages use tense to speak about
time. Other languages haven't any concept of tense in the least, but in fact, they will still mention time, using different methods.
So, we mention time in English with tense.
we can also mention time without using tense (for example,
getting to maybe a special construction to speak about the longer term, it's
not a tense)
one tense doesn't always mention just one occasion (for
example, we will use this tense, or maybe the past, to speak about the longer
term - see tense and time for more about this).
